What’s a good EDC knife

Benchmade Bugout

I also need a new knife. I lost my Benchmade mini grip after like 7 years, which was the GOAT IMO, but they stopped making them in different colors for some dumb reason. I've been waiting on KnifeWorks to stock more of the Doug Ritter Mini RSKs which are basically a clone.

I've been wanting to check out a Bugout but I've heard that the scales are kinda flimsy. Anybody have thoughts on that?

I carried a Kershaw leek for a decade and my wife broke my blade prying on something with it.

She pried something with a Leek?

You didn't say price or if you care if it's made in the US. The Kershaw Cryo is a solid, inexpensive Chinese option and the tip is significatly thicker than the Leek if your wife wants to play Bob the Builder again. It has all the features you're looking for.

If you want to spend some money there are countless good options.

ETA It may be made in Taiwan, I just know it's one of their foreign models. It's a helluva value.

Much more useful

I carry a SOG Pentagon Xr. They're $150 give or take.



Pocket clip can be moved to either side.

I had been carrying a little Spyderco Ladybug since 2019. Lost it about a month ago. All of my other knives were much larger and I didn't like carrying any of them every day. I got a Spyderco Byrd Robin (on Amazon). It feels too big too. I may order another Spyderco Ladybug 3 9On Amazon)

I really like this Civivi knife I got recently

Buy whatever you like, but know that Civivvi is owned by the Chinese CCP.
